Seven Weeks Old

Week 7 was really busy with Nate & Lauren's wedding, Mother's Day, and our anniversary. We are still working on getting the perfect picture for our baby announcements (which we will get out before she's 3 months old). We have some that we like, but we're still pretty indecisive. Rachel and I went to Hobby Lobby this week to pick up some black fabric for a backdrop for her black and white pictures. I love black and white pics and plan to take many of them over her lifetime:o)







Rachel's Pa came to visit this week and played her a tune on the guitar ("You are my Sunshine"). She seemed to like it!




Rachel is growing like crazy and Adam was able to get her to crack a small smile this morning. She was so cute! We introduced a small toy rattle this week, but she's still not able to grasp it yet. She's loving her play gym and is content to swing her arms at all the hanging toys for 30 minutes at a time. She also watched her first Baby Einstein video this morning. It's the Baby Beethoven Symphony of Fun. She seemed to like it or at least it kept her attention for a little while. Here she is watching it...



We are in the process of updating the blinds in our house. We're going with white faux wood blinds. Adam got some of them put up this week and purchased some of the others. We're starting with the upstairs first and will finish up the downstairs later this year probably.
